Shortly, we will be launching a new Siftquisition application. It will work in a similar manner to the poll. Here are is the rundown on how it will work from the FAQ entry:

Much like your genitals, VideoSift is designed to be a self-cleansing organ. The Siftquisition has been an informal part of VideoSift almost since its inception. The Siftquisition feature formalizes this cultural ceremony into an important aspect of administering our community. It's not squealing if you're doing it because you love VideoSift.

Call a Siftquisition to bring an established member before the community for a hearing because of:

* a violation of the VideoSift guidelines
* other behaviour that is harmful to the community


Do not call a Siftquistion for:

* a violation by a probationary account. (they may be instabanned, banned in Sift Talk or brought to the attention of an admin)
* minor infractions
* personal reasons
* retaliation
* practical jokes


More about Siftquistions:

* Be sure to state the reason clearly and provide any supporting links
* Avoid emotional language - just state the facts
* Siftquisitions may be called by gold star members or above
* Like a poll, Siftquisition periods last for 24 hours where members may vote on the sentence (if any) to be applied
* Sentencing is automatically carried out by Siftbot on the Siftuisitioned
* Be aware that overzealous or spurious siftquistions are violations in themselves and may result in the Siftquistioner being Siftquisitioned.
* Siftquistion sentences may be overturned by admins
* Permanent bans must be approved by a 2/3 vote (66% of total votes or higher for banning)
* Admins and Siftbot are immune to Siftquisitions
